The Thirty Names of Night

by Zeyn Joukhadar

Description

In a city where language can wound and memory can be weaponized, a young man sets out to uncover the truth behind a haunting family history—only to find that the night has its own rules. As he follows clues tied to the “thirty names” that darkness carries, he navigates shifting identities, political shadows, and the fragile line between survival and belonging. Blending lyrical storytelling with a suspenseful, quest-driven plot, the novel explores themes of exile, trauma, and the power of names—both to conceal and to reveal. With Zeyn Joukhadar’s distinctive, poetic style and emotionally charged momentum, this is a story that turns the search for meaning into a profound meditation on what we inherit, what we choose, and what the dark refuses to let go.
